My daughter has no idea who Bonnie Rait is so I pulled up the song that won Song of the Year, "Just Like That" which I admit to having never heard before, but I still have much respect for Ms. Rait.

Now, we're listening to the album and in the words of my daughter, "Mommy, okay, this is kind of bussing."

That means it's good in case you were wondering.

Give 'em Something to Talk About - Ace

Author Notes: My backlog of fics strike again! I actually don't really remember writing this, but I figure it comes from the timeframe where I was practicing writing Ace. And, heads-up, it isn't that I dislike Ace by any means. It's just that I don't actually get fic ideas for him on the fly. I have to actively work to come with an idea for Ace fics and I don't know why. This fic also doesn't have a specific tune I wrote it to (though it amusingly has plenty in common with "Let's Given Them Something to Talk About" by Bonnie Rait). Also, Ace got posted from the backlog because I rolled and Ace SR today (just the ceremonial robes, but hey, I took it as a sign). As per usual, Reader is gender-neutral. I hope you enjoy!

Word count: 973

It had long been an internal debate you’d had. Who exactly at this school oozed the most trouble?

Was it Floyd? There was certainly risk to be had there, but…. You didn’t know if trouble was the right word to describe him.

You knew who the word did fit, though. All it took was an evil grin accompanied by those sparkling ruby-colored eyes, and you knew exactly what Ace was. Trouble. With a capital T.

And yet, despite this knowledge, you willingly spent time with the menace that was Ace Trappola. 

Why? Well, there were a great many reasons for the ‘why’ of your reasons for hanging out with the young man.

For one thing, Ace was charming. That was how he got out of the trouble that he himself so frequently caused. You were confident that Ace could and would talk his way out of most anything, all while sporting a confident grin.

Then there was the fact that Ace was quite loyal. How could you ever deny that when he and Deuce had spent a fair bit of their winter break busing their way to where you were?

The very second you needed aid, Deuce and Ace would be there. The dynamic Heartslabyul duo, who were always by your side. Through thick and thin, for better or worse.

You three were fire-forged friends, but you knew full well that your relationship with Ace was a little different from your relationship with Deuce.

Deuce was your close friend, on whom you could always rely. Despite his delinquent past, he was the gentler one of the two and was always ready to comfort you as needed. Even if he was a little dumb, Deuce was both earnest and sweet. A combo you couldn’t even begin to guard yourself against, so you didn’t bother. Deuce was your dear friend after all.

But then there was Ace. Ever-teasing, flirtatious, and a bit of a pest. It was like bugging you was his favorite way to show his affection. 

Affection that he would staunchly deny even as he was wrapping his arm around your waist and tugging you just a little bit closer.

What had started as a friendship with Ace had swelled into what you could only describe as a flirtationship. Neither of you would take it but so far, and then you’d both stop. But that line was slim, and Ace had always liked to dance along the edge of it.

For your part, you frequently played defense. Showing any reaction was largely out of the question if you didn’t want to be teased mercilessly. 

You mainly flirted back when Ace left himself open. And his reaction was a glorious one, with  him turning the same red color as the heart that decorated his left eye.

But even when flustered, he couldn’t quite bring himself to keep away from you. Oh, he might not spout off quite so many flirtatious remarks, but his physical affection never waned. 

If you two were walking somewhere together, he would have an arm around you as he chatted about something that had happened. If you were sitting side by side, his knee would be bumping yours, which was always followed by his eyes darting towards you and a sly grin crossing his face.

His hand finding yours was second nature, as was leaning towards you as he barely lowered his voice to mutter something snarky about someone else in your ear just to see if he could earn himself a brief spout of laughter from you.

Oh yes, Ace was trouble of the sort you saw in films, and you’d always rolled your eyes when the lead lady would inevitably fall for his charms. 

But you couldn’t roll your eyes anymore. Not when you were in her shoes. 

At first, you’d thought very little about it. But the more Ace pushed, the more you felt your affection growing for him. 

Your relationship was a comfortable one, but Ace had never minded pushing the boundaries. And when you’d at long last pushed back… Well, you couldn’t deny that you enjoyed the shocked but pleased smile you’d earned yourself.

Even when Jack was rolling his eyes and Epel was letting out a disgusted-sounding huff, you couldn't deny that Ace had a knack for making you feel giddy.

And that giddiness made you feel like Ace ought to have an alarm that would signal you to his approach.

All other forms of trouble had a warning, so why didn’t he?

“Ace, they’re staring,” You grinned slightly as you started to slip your hand out of his. His eyes followed your gaze, finding the horde of scoffing students staring your way.

Being the center of attention at NRC was seldom a good thing, and yet you seemed to constantly be stumbling into the limelight and drawing attention your way. Perhaps it was a talent of yours, but it hardly seemed like a good one.

Especially since, judging from those looks, there was nothing friendly about those stares.

But if Ace cared, he certainly didn’t show it, grasping your hand almost as soon as it left his and tugging you closer. His head tilted towards yours, cherry eyes glinting in a way that promised nothing good, “What’s new about that? If they want to stare, let ‘em stare.”

You felt yourself smiling slightly, grateful once more for that stubborn streak of Ace’s that always had him meeting challenges head-on.

“And if they want to talk, let’s give ‘em something to talk about,” Your smile had slipped into a full-blown grin as you shoulder-bumped the young man, and you treaded ever closer to crossing that line known as friendship and crossing the gap into a completely different relationship.

Ace might be trouble, but he’d always called you danger-prone. And who were you to disappoint?

bisexual JD storylines in the alternate bisexual timeline

as i have maintained for years he should have slept with ben sullivan. 1. sleeping with dr. cox's best friend 2. who is also dying 3. who would complete JD sleeping with all three sullivan siblings. they have a sweet connection even though they both think the other one is fucking weird but ben still leaves after his diagnosis and comes back

he should sleep with keith after he ruins both keith and elliot's lives. i think they should hook up because [JD narration] 'maybe... we don't hate each other at all... maybe all this time it was keith and i just didn't see it' and then they're lying in bed like no we still definitely hate each other. and then later JD confesses and blows up like 'it wasn't even as good as i thought it was going to be!!!' and elliot is like 'you THOUGHT about it???'

obligatory sleeping with a patient storyline. i think the patient should be a single father and season 2 JD is like ohhhhhhkay actually i'm not ready for that [cue muted dialogue scene where it's implied that he's breaking up with guy as 'love lost' by temper trap plays over the ending montage of the episodes plotlines wrapping up] and goes back to projecting his weird dad issues onto dr. cox

scene where JD goes home with a couple at the bar and later turk and carla are like '...... let me guess. they saw you across the bar–' and JD is like 'they said i looked so spry and butch in my cargo shorts :)'

very scrubs type shit where the single dad returns and they try it again because JD is like 'i'm older, i'm more mature, i'm settled in my career, i'm actually paying bills, i can do this now' but realizes they're no longer compatible and JD is just trying to prove something, and they break up again. nick of time bonnie rait record drop. this is around the time turk and carla are new parents and it contrasts them with their baby while JD sits alone on the steps at work and wonders if he made a mistake

sleeps with a mall santa. i can hear JD saying 'not NOW, nicholas! it was a bathroom stall handy, not a wedding!' in front of a group of children

turk: i knew you were into dudes two weeks after meeting you

JD: what? how? how could you possibly know that

turk: you had two roadhouse posters

JD: it's a redblooded movie for men who love fighting and justice

turk: one poster, you like the movie. two posters, you like swayze's ass

JD: [dreamily] he has the posture of a russian ballet teacher...

why do you think prongsfoot isn't popular? 👀

what song(s) remind you of prongsfoot? of jily?

Prongsfoot

ooh good guestion!

I think early fandom was so dominated by Wolfstar that there wasn't enough room for much else when thinking about who to pair Sirius with. I know people who got bullied away from writing fics becuase they dared to not write wolfstar so with that much toxicty I think people were afraid to voyage outside the wolfstar bubble.

Jegulus is such a recent phenomenon in the history of the fandom, mostly propelled by tick-tock and newer fans. I think it could have been any pairing that got popular in this newer era and it just so happened that the Jegulus fic went viral instead of a prongsfoot fic or any other pairing.

Because really, I can't think of a good reason for prongsfoot not to be popular. It checks off so many boxes! And they already share a child!

Songs

I haven't written prongsfoot so I don't have a playlist for them. One of my favorite versions is unrequited prongsfoot with Sirius head over heels but quietly in love with James while James has his happy family with Lily because the angst is just *chefs kisses*

So for unrequited prongsfoot I'm going to say I Can't Make You Love me by Bonnie Rait, Make You Feel My Love by Bob Dylan and Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy

Jily songs

Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley

I Won't Say I'm in Love by Alan Menken

Fix You by Coldplay

Iris by Goo Goo Dolls

The Times They are a Changin by Bob Dylan

Eternal Flame by The Bangles

I can go on but I'll stop!

Or Bad Bunny should have won Album of The Year for Un Verano Sin Ti.

Harry Styles speech for AOTY includes him saying things like that don’t happen often to people like him 👉🏻 Fans say he is humble vs. others saying he’s a cis white male and things like that do happen for people like him, and they don’t like that others nominated did not win.

🔊 heisenbaby

I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Rait

2. Applause - Lady Gaga (I was going to put this for Bres, actually, but the thing with Bres is...he *doesn't* crave the spotlight, while Heis does.)

3. How You Remind Me - Nickelback

4. Poison - Alice Cooper

5. Diary of Jane - Breaking Benjamin

Bonus Round:

6. Gimme Gimme - Brian David Gilbert

7. Schrei Nach Liebe- Die Polizei

8. The Murdoch Mysteries Theme

Look....I know the fandom consensus is usually that Heis listens to industrial metal, but I will die on the hill that this man does NOT have cool music tastes -- His music taste is the unholy combination of 80s-90s rock and teenage angst songs, with a little bit of steampunk, unrequited love anthems, and gravedigging working their way in there. I firmly resist any attempts at making this man cool.

[apologeticallyfat]

Song of the year

………….. in a upset, Bonnie Rait

We’ll discuss this one later cause….

[vadergf]

Wait that Bonnie rait song that won song of the year is so sad :(

[ahaura]

i didn't watch the grammys but i KNOW harry "what's next for dry wall? what's next for swine flu?" styles did NOT deserve a win. or tswift. also ive never heard of bonnie rait in my entire LIFE

Genuinely surprised that Bonnie Rait's "can't make you love me" wasn't higher on my wrapped. I had that song playing for hours for a month straight lmao. For me it was:

Snow on the beach (og)

sweet nothing

say yes to heaven

lacy

then I cant make you love me

Songstress Julia D’Angelo Comes Alive on “Kathmandu”

Julia D'Angelo has just revealed her gorgeously crafted single and video for "Kathmandu."

Julia D'Angelo's music embodies a delicate avant-garde essence infused with a charming quirkiness, demonstrating her skill in seamlessly integrating conventional and groundbreaking elements to craft a distinct and harmonious sonic experience. While her artistic path initially unfolded in the realm of dance, Julia's ventures into music, acting, and film have been greatly influenced by this background. As a result, she frequently embarks on projects that flawlessly unite various art forms, showcasing her innovative and multifaceted creative approach.

Listen in here: https://open.spotify.com/track/7iY5eCnn7qwOFqM0AE2fF7?si=6b0e6d4b39544ab3

Watch the video here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5vi_-jn7bE

Julia shares of the track:"This song actually started out as a poem that I had written years ago. I was seeing someone at the time who's window saw the most beautiful sunrises I'd ever seen in my life. I remember not being able to sleep one night, and just staring out the window - looking at the same sunrise that I had seen many times before, only this time feeling immense guilt, because I knew I had to end the relationship, and I was terrified. The first line of the song "Never been so scared of the night sky, never been so used to a white lie" speaks directly to that feeling. What followed was a journey through my imagination, from being trapped and held down, to bursting through that window and being - for lack of a better word - free."

Infusing jazz-influenced arrangements, unusual rhythmic phrasings, and understated spoken word into her dreamy indie-folk melodies, Toronto born, Brooklyn based Julia D’Angelo is a multi-disciplinary artist focusing in music and film. With an emphasis on the lyricism within her tracks, Julia seeks to defy genre conforming rules and curate music that is both honest and authentic to who she is and how she views the world around her. Musically, she pulls a lot of inspiration from powerhouse women musicians throughout the years - Nina Simone, Bonnie Rait, Amy Winehouse, Fiona Apple, Norah Jones and Ani DiFranco to name a few - making their way into her music through inflections of smoke-tinged vocals and a subtle avant garde and quirkiness. Prior to pursuing music, acting and film, Julia grew up a dancer, so she often creates projects that meld all of these art forms together.

"Kathmandu" is out now via all platforms.

Bonnie Rait t& John Prine - Angel From Montgomery

There’s some wisdom in the downs, and unearthed joy in the ups today. Are we finally grown up? I don’t know know but... ‘Tis good to see you grown out and smiling and frankly, the win part shone a light in here that I needed dearly, it  was like a prophecy. I hope you focus on the good bits there’s a lot there, things to weave even the partially bitter bits (more of them here on my land, you needn’t worry) so...

Thank you thank you thank you, my new Jean-Luc, get yourself to your safe haven, this was brilliant. You are, that.

(...oh and, rest in peace John Prine, He would love seeing her getting the recognition for her songwriting for a change, that’s for sure)

(Jean-Luc as in Godard x)

[harrysayingnympho]

I don’t blame her. She has again been shut out of the top awards. And I’m sorry she could do the calculus and say ok to Lizzo for ROTY. But to lose to Bonnie Rait??? And I thought renaissance was a better album but I can make peace with a Harry win if only she hasn’t been shut out like she was. Flipping ridiculous!!

honestly shocked and this album was like no other beyoncé album and no other album nominated i am…. shook to my core but like you said i can make peace w a harry win bc first of all harry’s house is incredible and second of all he owns my life so here i am!!!!!
